[iBook] Ibook won't Internet!

[B G]

Check to see what your IP address is. I was having a similar issue with 
my iBook and a Netgear WGR614.
Make sure it is within the range your router is assigning. You can also 
access the router and check for attached devices to see if the iBook 
MAC address is there.

It turns out I was getting a self assigned IP address, the easiest fix 
seemed to be to go to Airport connection and select other type in the 
ssid and password to reconnect.

I am assuming there is a WEP security issue with the Netgear and 
Airport cards, if I turn off security on my router it works okay.

This is an intermittent problem for me 95% of the time no problems


Good luck
